i haven't posted in ages! sorry. i was sewing a lot, setting new objectives for future business plans, .. here what's NEW!

dawanda and thekey.to are hosting a competition named 'READY TO GREEN'

'...DaWanda and TheKey.to are both interested in discovering fashion which is not only ethically-minded, but also has a great design and sense of style. They want to promote these ideas amongst young creatives and up-and-coming fashion designers over the long term by launching an annual fashion prize. In addition to being a great way to promote talented designers, the prize seeks to make the public aware of the importance and appeal of green fashion. ...'

i would definitely love to enter but the deadline is only a month from now. quite difficult to fill all the criteria to a standard i would approve with myself. but READY TO GO GREEN next year!!

'wedding dress' for the fifth time - the festival of urban fashion and lifestylethis is an event for your calendar grab your clothes and plan a trip to berlin. go for a vacation through art, fashion and jewelry. mark july 10th and don't miss this chance to meet young extraordinary designers!

i was planning to be there as a designer myself. i was even lucky, the team liked my work, but as i'm a one woman business at the moment, i couldn't finish enough pieces for july. i just discovered wedding dress myself last week.. but i'm fallen with the idea of the festival and will participate as a designer next year!yes, another date for next year!

JADDY said..

i would love this necklace as it is absolutely stunning and elegant, and because i have been meaning to wear more vintage and do more second hand shopping. this would be a great way for me to find my way into a great style!
also, i have just become pregnant with my first baby. i was feeling so rotten these last 3 months that i totally neglected my sense of style, as i would just throw on whatever clothes were closest to my bed! now i am feeling better and want to start making more of an effort again to look stylish again - this necklace would definitely help :-)

well girl, you made it! you won my giveaway necklace!

thanks to you all for entering!!well keep on following my blog i appreciate it.. i will post shop specials from time to time, maybe even giveaways as it was so much fun!until then or until next giveaway day hosted by sew mama sew.. i will sign up again!

i wanted to share my joy with you for starting a whole new shop and getting my first customer. this is very special to me. i'm coming back to business after my baby break with my two toddlers, daughter samaire (3 years) and son jaedan (17 months). i love my job. i love to sew. i love to design. i love to create beautiful new things. and i always wanted to share this love with my kids. not only those little sweet handicrafts little girls like (a new cuddle friend or a ruffled pants) but the real thing. now it's time, i started it.

so i decided to stay at home with our two kids and have a busy kitchen sunday and do all the yummy baking stuff .. daddy is working so we have all the time.first up, rhubarb crumble.. mhmmm.. yummy. with sponge cake muffins and double cream. heavenly! one of my favorites.. i so do love rhubarb!

then i made a flaky pastry lasagna with feta cheese and a tomato soup for lunch.samaire was all 'we have to make this more often, mummy, it's so delicious!'and jace ate a whole bowl soup. even my hubby has joined us (no more articles for today!)

in the late afternoon we went out for a walk. but only a short one.. yes, still too wet. only a short visit at the near stud. there was a show jumping tournament this weekend, samaire wanted to go and look at some horses. but it was already too late, only the after tournament fries and sausages so we went home quickly - we were definitely full. samaire announced, but next time we go sooner and we don't eat that much, then we can have something to eat there, ok? kids..
